Abstract
Ribosome profiling involves sequencing of approximately 30-base-long stretches of ribosome-protected mRNA. The technique enables genome-wide mapping of RNA undergoing active translation. Numerous small open reading frames have been identified by using ribosome profiling, leading researchers to question the assumed non-functional character of sORFs and to the identification of various important sORF translation products. sORFs.org (https://www.sorfs.org) is a public repository of small open reading frames identified by ribosome profiling in a database of over 3 million sORFs across 78 datasets from six species. sORFs.org is a multi-omics endeavor providing tools and metrics to assess the coding potential of the delineated sORFs. A pipeline is also in place to systematically rescan public mass spectrometry datasets to acquire new experimental evidence for sORF-encoded polypeptides. sORFs.org provides two distinct query interfaces, export functionality, and various visualization tools to enable inspection of the available information. © 2018 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
